Meeting and Event Calendar

RATS holds six meetings per year. Regular meetings are usually scheduled for a Friday evening starting at 5:00 p.m., and include tool sales, a general meeting, a themed presentation, and a small auction.

Regular meetings are held in February, April, June, September, and November. The annual RATS Gathering is held in December and is our biggest and best event of the year, with a big potluck dinner, desserts, lots of good tools for sale and an auction.
